About this book

This book collects the ground-breaking ideas of top IC scholars on how to futurize IC theory and practice. Keeping the future in focus and searching for answers to fundamental questions related to the development of IC theory and practice that foster sustainability and societal wellbeing, this book provides new insights and perspectives concerning the nature and scope of IC, its effective management mechanisms, and the potential impact of IC on organizations and societies. The carefully curated 16 chapters by leading thinkers in the field address the key areas of future-proof IC research and practice:  the complex and dynamic nature of IC, the role of IC in social ecosystems and its potential in facilitating smart social growth, the dynamic interplay between artificial intelligence and IC, and alternative paradigms for optimizing the transformative power of IC while prioritizing sustainability, social equity, and holistic wellbeing. The book inspires new thinking by breaking old thought patterns, making new connections, and generating fresh perspectives on IC. Serving as a catalyst for future global dialogue, the book guides scholars and practitioners on how to align IC theory and practices with future economic, social, and technological changes, inspires experimentation, and opens up new perspectives for the development of IC theory and practice that should contribute to the global societal transformation, sustainable growth, and peace.
